Salty Sweet Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies A Triple Chocolate Treat

Published: Sep 7, 2017 · Modified: Oct 16, 2024 by Marisa Franca

Jump to Recipe

Sometimes a recipe,  such as Salty Sweet Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies,  doesn't need an introduction or a lot of fanfare. The ingredients speak for themselves.

(I made these delicious triple chocolate cookies for our son's birthday per his request. I updated some of the photos but the recipe was just as delicious as the last time I made them.)

Nutella Chocolate Chip  Cookies extra chocolatey

The nutty aroma of the brown butter and the chocolate will beckon you to take a taste of the baked cookie or cookies. 🙂

The smell makes them irresistible and the taste says it all.

Our oldest grandson took one bite, closed his eyes in appreciation and murmured . . .

. . .mmmm . . .ooey . . .gooey . . . goodness.

Chocolate Chip Cookies filled with Nutella

It all started with a half-full jar of Nutella.

I originally bought the Nutella to make a cheesecake parfait. Somehow,  some of the Nutella went missing *ahem*  and I didn't have enough for the parfait.

So, I went in search of a delicious recipe to take to our kids and grandsons to sample. You see,  they are our quality control, so to speak. They rate the desserts.

They rate the desserts. If they give a dessert their seal of approval -- we're certain our readers will enjoy it.

Throughout the years, I'm sure you made many batches of chocolate chip cookies. I know I have.

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies are not ordinary

The recipe I always used was the Betty Crocker recipe in her old 1962 cookbook. I even tried the recipe on the Nestle package. Our family is an expert on taste. So if you think that a chocolate chip cookie is a chocolate chip cookie.

That's a big, Uh! Uh!! This recipe for Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies is out of this world delicious.

My inspiration for these Nutella Chocolate Chip cookies came from a recipe at the Ambitious Kitchen.

Once I read Monique's post claiming they were the best cookies in the world, I knew I had to make them for All Our Way.

Part of the unique flavor is the  2 sticks (1 cup) butter that you brown -- giving the cookies a rich nutty butter taste. WOW!! It's worth taking the time to brown the butter. It makes all the difference.

Browning the butter isn't difficult to do -- you just have to watch the butter like a hawk so it doesn't burn.

Then to make it easier to stuff the cookies,  freeze teaspoons of Nutella. When you're ready to assemble the ingredients, they measured and ready to add to the mixing bowl.

re ready to assemble the ingredients they are all measured and ready to be added to the mixing bowl.

Freeze the Nutella Filling for Cookies

It's very important to chill the dough -- it warms up in your hand as you take about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough and form it into a ball.

Flatten the dough in your hand and put the frozen Nutella in the center. Wrap the dough around the Nutella, making sure that it is completely surrounded by the dough. Add a little bit more dough if necessary.

Close up of Salty Sweet Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies get their nutty flavor from browned butter. On top the drizzle of chocolate is a touch of salt on a black wire cooling rack.

Bake the cookies just until the edges begin to turn a golden brown. They will continue to bake on the cookie sheet. Drizzle with chocolate and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

That's all there is to it!!

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 281 ¼ grams
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda 5 ¾ grams
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 1 ½ grams
  • 2 sticks 1 cup unsalted butter (227 grams)
  • 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar either light or dark (275 grams)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 50 grams
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract 6 ½ grams
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream 14 ⅓ grams
  • 1 ¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 315 grams
  • 1 jar Nutella 13 oz
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 cup 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon shortening such as Crisco
Get Recipe Ingredients

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam -- don't leave, keep watch over it. Make sure you whisk consistently during this process. After a couple of minutes, the butter will begin to brown on the bottom of the saucepan; continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown. It will give off a rich nutty aroma. Immediately pour the butter into a bowl to prevent it from burning. Set it aside to cool for a few minutes. If the butter is too hot it will "cook" the eggs.
  • With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, yolk, vanilla and sour cream until combined. Add the dry ingredients slowly and beat on low speed just until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough for at least 1 ½ hours.
  • Measure 24 - 1 teaspoon of Nutella on a piece of wax paper and freeze.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Take dough out of the refrigerator and measure about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten the dough ball very thinly into the palm of your hand. Place the teaspoon of frozen Nutella in the middle and fold the dough around it, make sure dough is covering the Nutella -- add a little more dough if necessary. Place the dough balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and gently tap the top to slightly flatten. Don't press too hard.
  • Bake the cookies anywhere from 9 to 12 minutes -- just until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. They will look a bit underdone in the middle -- don't worry -- they will continue to cook once they are out of the oven.
  • Cool the cookies on the sheets at least 2 minutes.

Chocolate Drizzle

  • Put the chocolate chips in a microwavable cup. Melt the chocolate in 30-second increments until it is all melted - add the shortening then stir.
  • Drizzle the chocolate on top of the warm cookies, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and let cool completely.

Notes

  • If you use a double ply cookie sheet the cookies have a tendency to take longer. Just keep an eye on them. The middle will look soft but that's okay.
  • If you are baking one tray at a time, put the other cookie sheet in the refrigerator until ready to bake. This prevents the cookies from spreading out too much. The same goes if your kitchen is really warm, put the cookie sheet in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up the dough - then bake.
  • Inspired by Monique's Nutella stuffed Brown Butter + Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies at Ambitious Kitchen.

      Marisa, homemade cookies simply are the best! These cookies would be a treat for nutella lovers and chocolate lovers and for some one like me, it is a double winner. Love the use of brown butter as it does add another layer of flavor to the cookies.

      These chip cookies look very finger-licking and inviting. My family will love them, Marisa! Is it possible to use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour?

        Hi, Agness! I'm not familiar with almond flour and how it would hold up around the Nutella center. You need the firmness of the flour so that it wraps around the Nutella and bakes. If you do try it, let me know how it turns out. I wish I could be of more help. xoxo

        Hi, Amy! NO! They don't have that many calories. I just switched over to a new recipe plugin and I know that isn't correct. My old recipe card didn't have any nutrition or calories -- I think I'll contact the techs on this. This recipe makes exactly 24 cookies using a 1 1/2 Tablespoon scoop.

      Great minds think alike. We both posted cookies this week. Homemade cookies are THE BEST, so much better than bought...even if you get them at a bakery. These sound divine. You can never go wrong with chocolate, Nutella and salt....it's a winning combination.
